The ABC's of Me

1.29.2014

I've done a post or two about getting to know the blogger behind the blog, but those are few and far between because well, I get a little awkward talking about myself. Remember back in grade school when you would go around the room on the first day of class and each student would stand up and tell everyone a little bit about themselves? I hated those days. I would get clammy and would usually freeze up right after I said my name. I don't know why this happens to me. I mean, I'm definitely not a shy person by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, here is a little fun fact about younger me - I was the morning anchor on our high school news that would broadcast every morning for the whole school to watch. I actually very much enjoy being the center of attention.
Why is it then that I have such a difficult time talking about myself? I have no idea. What I do know, however, is that when someone goes and posts and easy way to talk about myself I have to take her up on the offer to borrow the idea (thanks Allison!).

I started blogging because a lot of things in my life
were changing and I really wanted a place to share my thoughts and ideas. I
have always loved to write and I am always looking to meet new people and this
has been an awesome way to do both!

How did you
come up with the name of your blog?

I really struggled with a name for a while
(which is part of why I still haven’t changed my actual URL to my blog) but I
settled on three words that really describe who I am. I am a health educator,
or at least that’s what my degree is in. I am a very passionate and loving
person. And I am married to a firefighter/paramedic. My blog is for everything
me and everything that is going on in my life. It just made sense for my title
to be ME as well!

What can
people expect when they visit your blog?

It’s honestly a little bit or whatever
is going on in my life. Most of the time you can find DIY projects, travel
recaps, recipes, photos and real life.

Did you make
any New Years resolutions this year? If so, what were they?

Over the holidays this year we lost my father
in-law unexpectedly so instead of making new years resolutions it really made
me think of what I wanted day in and day out in my life. I decided that instead
of making resolutions I might soon forget, I want to live in the moment more,
take more opportunities that are presented to me, and love life and experiences
as much as possible.

What are some
of your favorite hobbies?

Growing up, I hated to be the stereotypical girl so I
tried everything I could to do a little bit of everything. Now at 26, I love
anything pin, sports, crafting, cooking, travel, photography, and spending time
with my friends and family.
